While Qi Surong was recuperating, Feng Zhan took care of her almost every step of the way, and personally served all the decoctions and medicines.
Jiang Yao warned: "She can no longer withstand the torture. She must take a good rest, avoid meat and fish, and don't be anxious, otherwise a small cold may kill her."
Feng Zhan kept it in mind. He moved Qi Surong into his own courtyard and took good care of her.
His meticulous and considerate treatment of Qi Surong was enviable to others. Even Ping'er, who had always supported Gu Jinyun, was a little shaken and thought it would be good for the young lady to marry this Lord Feng.
Qi Surong had been in a daze and couldn't tell who the man who took care of her was. She just subconsciously thought of him as Gu Jinyun, so she never resisted his closeness and occasionally held his hand to sleep. When Feng Zhan couldn't help but kiss her, he would get a docile cat-like response. This made Feng Zhan full of tenderness and overjoyed.
Qi's mother watched quietly and hesitated several times, but seeing Feng Zhan's passionate devotion to her daughter, she finally did not tell anything about the Gu family. In her mind, it would be better for her daughter to marry into the Feng family than to marry a businessman.
Five days later, Qi Surong woke up in Feng Zhan's arms.
Feng Zhan called out in surprise: "Surong, are you awake?"
Qi Surong's consciousness was still a little blurry. She raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, showing a bit of laziness and weakness.
Feng Zhan was moved by the sight and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Qi Surong leaned against him docilely, showing no intention of resisting.
Feng Zhan held the back of her head with one hand and hugged her waist with the other. He tasted it from shallow to deep, inhaling and turning.
Qi Surong gradually calmed down, and suddenly realized that the man kissing her was not Gu Jinyun, but Feng Zhan. She was startled, and quickly put her hand on his chest, turned her head away, and said hurriedly: "You, what are you doing?"
"Sorry, I couldn't help but scared you when I saw you woke up?" Feng Zhan still hugged her and said warmly, "You have been comatose for five days, how do you feel now? Do you need me to call the doctor to come and take a look?"
"Let me go first." Qi Surong wanted to distance himself from him, but was unable to break away due to his weakness.
Feng Zhan thought she was shy and said with a smile, "Don't you think it's too late to be shy now?"
Qi Surong still couldn't figure out the situation. She didn't understand when she and Feng Zhan became so close.
She looked around and found that she was in Feng Zhan's courtyard again, and asked, "What happened? Why am I here?"
"The day after you returned to prison, you were poisoned. Fortunately, Doctor Jiang arrived in time and rescued you." Feng Zhan replied, "You were already out of breath at that time, which almost scared me. die."
Qi Surong thought about it carefully and had a vague impression, then asked: "Then why am I here?"
"Of course I was the one who picked you up." Feng Zhan said with a smile, "Who else is more suitable to take care of you than me now?"
"What's the meaning?"
"You are my fiancée." Feng Zhan kissed her face.
"Fiancée?" Qi Surong asked in surprise, not caring about being scorned, "How could I become your fiancée?"
"When I took you out of prison that day, in order to protect you, I announced that you were my fiancée."
"This..." Qi Surong had a headache and didn't know how to react.
"Okay, don't think too much, have a good rest. I'll call the doctor and have someone bring you some food." Feng Zhan helped Qi Surong lie down, covered her with the quilt carefully, then turned and left.
Qi Surong opened her eyes and stared blankly at the gauze tent.
After a while, Qi's mother walked in with a bowl of white porridge.
Qi Surong asked quickly: "Mom, what is going on?"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, listen to me slowly." Qi's mother comforted her, and then told her what happened after she was poisoned.
Qi Surong frowned.
"Daughter, this Feng Zhan is really good to you. If you marry him, my mother will definitely approve of it."
Qi Surong was surprised and said, "Mom, my family has a marriage contract with the Gu family."
"It's just a verbal reply. The two families haven't signed a contract yet, so it can't be considered a marriage contract."
"Is it possible that the Feng family has passed the marriage agreement?" It can't be so fast, right
"Although we haven't been married yet, many people already know about it." Qi's mother looked worried, "I think you have a good impression of Master Feng. When he got close to you, you showed no resistance."
That's because she regarded him as Gu Jinyun. Except for Gu Jinyun, she would never be so close to any other man in the world. Thinking of the kiss just now, Qi Surong felt ashamed.
"Mom, my daughter is so ill and unconscious, how can she resist?" Qi Surong said angrily, "But you, on the other hand, didn't stop him when you saw him crossing the line. Your daughter is still unmarried, how could she be like this with a man who has nothing to do with her? Close?"
Qi's mother was silent for a moment and said: "That Feng Zhan is a talented person. He comes from a famous family and holds a fourth-level official position. He is a perfect match for you. He has saved you from danger several times, even at the cost of conflict with the government, regardless of his own reputation and future. , It’s really affectionate and righteous. And that Gu’s eldest son, has he ever come to see you since you were imprisoned? "
Qi's mother actually had no prejudice against Gu Jinyun, but compared to Feng Zhan, he was obviously inferior.
Qi Surong sighed, her mother didn't know that Gu Jinyun had been protecting her secretly.
"Besides, this matter is already known to everyone. If it fails, you may become a laughing stock in the future."
"My daughter would rather be the butt of laughter."
"Don't talk nonsense." Mother Qi scolded.
"Mom, let's not forget about my daughter's marriage to the Gu family." Qi Surong said with a little helplessness, "With her current status, how can she be worthy of Brother Feng? Brother Feng is certainly affectionate and righteous, but mother, do you really think that the Feng family will Do you agree to this marriage?"
Qi's mother was silent. In her mind, her daughter came from a noble family, and her status was always different from that of ordinary people. Even if she was from the royal family, she was qualified to be a match, but she had never thought about whether other famous families would like the Qi family.
"But Feng Zhan has promised to marry you, so he won't go back on his word, right?" Qi's mother hesitated.
Qi Surong smiled: "Mom, if we can go against the Gu family, why not the Feng family?"
Qi's mother was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then what are your plans?"
"Naturally, I will pretend that this matter does not exist." Qi Surong smiled nonchalantly, "Anyway, my daughter's reputation has been ruined, that's all. I am very grateful to Feng Zhan for saving his life, and I will definitely repay him in the future, but I can't I agree with you."
Qi's mother sighed: "Okay then. You are a person with ideas, so you can handle this matter yourself."
Qi Surong woke up the next day feeling exhausted. She was injured continuously, and then was poisoned, and her body was very weak.
Coupled with Feng Zhan's matter, it is inevitable to worry. But it's not that there is no good news, that is, his case has finally made progress. With the confessions of several powerful witnesses and Jiang Yao's diagnosis, Cao Xiang can no longer pretend to be blind. Since he is fine, the sentence on Qi Surong is naturally invalid. She did not plead guilty before, so she could be released without retrial. In the end, she just paid some money to settle the matter. As for the investigation of other responsibilities, there is no need to pay attention to it. In the end, it will definitely be settled.
A few days later, the government sent an official document, and the case was finally solved. Qi Surong was able to regain her innocence. She immediately decided to leave the hospital and go home to recuperate.
Feng Zhan stopped him and said, "Surong, you can't even get out of bed now, so you better not go home for the time being. The quiet environment of the other hospital is more suitable for recuperation than the Qi family. Why don't you go back after you recover?"
"Thank you, Brother Feng. Su Rong is still used to staying at home." Qi Su Rong wanted to sit up, but her arms were a little weak.
Feng Zhan hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said softly: "Don't show off, just stay. I will take good care of you."
Qi Surong avoided him slightly and said hesitantly: "Brother Feng, there are differences between men and women. Please step aside. I have a girl here to take care of you."
"You are my fiancée, why do you care about those vulgar etiquette?" Feng Zhan put his arm around her waist with no intention of letting go.
"Brother Feng, the matter of my fiancée was just a casual comment. Now that I have nothing to do, I don't need to take it seriously, right?" Qi Surong felt uncomfortable being hugged by him, but she didn't know how to refuse. Feng Zhan is her benefactor, and she doesn't want to hurt him.
"How can you not be serious?" Feng Zhan said seriously, "I, Feng Zhan, will never take back what I said. From today on, you are my woman. In a few days, I will go to Qi's house to propose marriage. Let's first Let’s settle the marriage.”
Does he really want to marry her? Qi Surong was startled, thought for a moment, and asked, "Brother Feng, I'm afraid Uncle Feng won't agree to this marriage, right?"
"I will make him agree." Feng Zhan said firmly.
Qi Surong was certain that the Feng family would never agree to this marriage, even if she had never been in jail. Without the words of his parents, Feng Zhan's decision would not be practical.
So he calmed down for a moment and said again: "Brother Feng, let's not mention this matter for now. I have just been released from prison and my body is so weak. I'd better recover from my illness first."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Feng Zhan smiled and touched her head. He wanted to kiss her, but Qi Surong avoided her. He said regretfully, "You are still cute when you are confused, and you won't reject me, like a cat. Like a child, lying docilely in my arms."
Qi Surong was speechless and looked embarrassed. He pulled the quilt and wrapped himself tightly.
"Haha." Feng Zhan laughed and patted the bulging quilt, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, stick your head out quickly, don't get bored, I'll go out for a while and come back to see you later. Just you Stay in another hospital with peace of mind, I won't let you leave until you recover."
The footsteps gradually faded away. Qi Surong stuck his head out of the quilt and looked at the closed door with a heavy heart. Should she tell him directly about her engagement with Gu Jinyun? If he said it, would it bring trouble to Gu Jinyun? How will Feng Zhan react
Qi Surong covered her face, it was really a headache!
